benchmarks

[Seth Vidal]

I've mostly been a lurker but recent changes in my company have peaked my
interest in the performance of sw vs hw raid.

Does anyone have some statistics online of sw raid (1,5) vs hw raid
(1,5) on a linux system?

Also is there anyway to have a hot-swappable sw raid system. (IDE or SCSI)?

RTFM's and web page pointers are gladly accepted.

thanks
